13 Keyserling McCarthy Charge 'Utter Nonsense' WASHINGTON Leon H. Keyserling says his life's record of anti-Communism shows a story told by Senator McCarthy (R-Wis) is "utter nonsense" and false." Keyserling, chairman of President Truman's Council Economic Advisers, issued a statement Sunday night in reply to comments in a Saturday night speech by Senator McCarthy. At Wheeling, W. McCarthy told a Republican Women's Club that secret and previously undisclosed congressional testimony by an unidentified witness showed Keyserling had once talked with a Communist party organizer. McCarthy quoted the witness as saying discussed Communist philosophy but Keyserling was not asked to join because he did not agree with all its principles.

Keyserling said McCarthy had "repeated secondhand, with some an entirely false story Keyserling added: "This story is utter nonsense. The alleged 'conversation' never took place never agreed with any points in the Communist philosophy, as shown by the whole record of my life, activities, writings and speeches." McCarthy also declared the unidentified witness linked Mrs. Keyserling to 10 Communist front organizations." "There is absolutely nothing to this," Keyserling said.

Maddux's party. The general is with the office installation and operation of air bases. His visit here will be the third inspection made by groups of Air Force officers in recent weeks. No Decision Yet a The air branch of the armed services has been reported as considering re-activation of the former naval air station, with the possibility of operating bombers or fighter planes there. It has made announcement that it will do but any operation of that size so, would mean that adequate housing and educational facilities for the several thousands of personnel would be needed.

It was announced Monday that Capt. B. L. Webb is being assisted as commanding officer of the Bunker Hill base, relieving Capt. Hoyt Tanner who has been in charge of the station since the Air Force took it over two ago as an auxiliary storage facility.

Capt. Webb has arrived at the station, having come here from 2 Gentile Air Base, Dayton, and will formally assume command Friday. Capt. Tanner will return to Gentile Base. Capt.

Webb said the base is now on a standby basis, awaiting the decision of the Air Force on whether it will be taken over as an Air Force operations base. The captain is from Brownsville, and is looking for a house to rent. He is married and has one son. Maj. James H.

Ridling, director of supply at Gentile Base, arrived at Bunker Hill Monday in connection with possible acquisition of that property by the air force. He had no information of what decision will be made, however. Released by Beamer Word of the inspection by Gen. Maddux's group was released Sun-. by Congressman John V.

Beamer's office in Washington. Meanwhile, the Ninth Naval District Public Works Office at Great Lakes, planned to go ahead with opening of bids Monday afternoon for leasing of the agricultural land at the base. Bidders presumably would be aware of the fact that the Air Force might take over the entire base. and any leases made probably would be subject to reservation. regarded as likely that the Navy's plans to lease the farm land might speed up a decision by the Air Force, which has been inspecting many other abandoned! wartime air installations over the country.
